Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Central nervous system effects.
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Treat symptomatically. This product is a pyrethroid. If large amounts have been ingested, milk, cream, and other digestible fats and oils may increase absorption and so should be avoided.

Appropriate engineering controls
Engineering measures Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits. When working in confined spaces (tanks, containers, etc.), ensure that there is a supply of air suitable for breathing and wear the recommended equipment.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/Face Protection If there is a potential for exposure to particles which could cause eye discomfort, wear chemical goggles.
Skin and Body Protection Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, socks, and shoes.
Hand Protection Protective gloves
Respiratory Protection If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection should be worn. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with current local regulations.
Hygiene measures Clean water should be available for washing in case of eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking, chewing gum or using tobacco. Shower or bathe at the end of working. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Launder work clothing separately from regular household laundry.

Information on toxicological effects
Symptoms Large doses of bifenthrin ingested by laboratory animals produced signs of toxicity including convulsions, tremors and bloody nasal discharge.
Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure
Chronic toxicity Bifenthrin: Long-term exposure caused neurotoxicity (tremors and impaired gait) in the early exposure in animal studies, but tremors disappeared with continued exposure.
Mutagenicity Bifenthrin: Not genotoxic in laboratory studies.
Carcinogenicity Bifenthrin: Weak treatment-related response for liver adenocarcinomas and benign bladder tumors (lesion) in male mice. This product contains crystalline silica (quartz) in a
non-respirable form. Inhalation of crystalline silica is unlikely to occur from exposure to this product. However, if granules are pulverized or crushed into a fine, respirable powder, silica exposure via inhalation is probable.
Neurological effects Bifenthrin: Causes clinical signs of neurotoxicity (tremors, impaired gait, excessive salivation) following acute or subchronic exposure. Tremors disappeared with continued exposure.
Reproductive toxicity Bifenthrin: No toxicity to reproduction in animal studies.
Developmental toxicity Bifenthrin: Not teratogenic in animal studies.
STOT - single exposure Not classified.
STOT - repeated exposure Not classified.
Target organ effects Bifenthrin: Central Nervous System.
Neurological effects Bifenthrin: Causes clinical signs of neurotoxicity (tremors, impaired gait, excessive salivation) following acute or subchronic exposure. Tremors disappeared with continued exposure.
Aspiration hazard No information available.
